For sure. An amazing life musically speaking. Learned Blue Sky. I have the notes but I don't have the notes if you know what I mean. His picking was unique.

Made it to 80. Not bad all things considered.

When I bought my first electric guitar after college graduation in '73, Dickey's solos in Ramblin' Man were some of the first things I endeavored to learn note-for-note. Took some time!

I feel that! John Mayer is another one. Tone really is in the fingers.

RIP Dickey. One of the best.

Same old JB :lol: Substance abuse is no joke.

Notice I said "musically speaking" when describing him.
